I'm with you.... I get what she is saying... she wants to do MORE than simply sew three layers together, to do more than simply finish a project, or to make a quilt simply to MAKE one.
She wants to dig out of her mind that quilt she SEES but feels possibly overwhelmed by, or she wants to know she has TOUCHED someone deply by what she creates....
she isn't saying she's above someone else, its NOT just pretty (important words)...its very much a promise to herself not to quilt without HEART....
